Projects

We’re all about helping grow gaming culture and the gaming industry in NZ all in a positive way. We do this through PROJECTS. These range from creating events like LANs, esports viewing parties and gaming movie viewings, all the way to building presentations for schools, parents and kids that preach the positive aspects of gaming.

Viewings for Global Esports Tournaments: we rent bars, stadiums, and convention centers to view big end of season esports events such as DotA 2’s yearly International and League of Legend’s yearly World Championships.

New Zealand Based Esports Tournaments: our history is in creating local NZ esports tournaments that players can join and compete in, sometimes for epic prizes. So far we’ve hosted tournaments for SC2, LoL, DotA 2, CS:GO, Hearthstone, Rocket League, and Smite. We’d love to work with Overwatch and several other titles as well as our team grows.

Gaming Events and Convention Support: we’ve run gaming LANs, exhibition stalls, Hearthstone fireside gatherings, LoL community meetups, and gaming quiz nights. We love running any and all events for gaming that bring our community closer together.
